When I'm in a creative slump, I always go to my friends and family for recipe inspiration. What does my cousin Ashley tell me to make every time? Hawaiian Chicken. Every. Single. Time. Even though she's been telling me to make Hawaiian Chicken for over a year now (seriously), I kept putting it off because......

Cucumber Basil Gin and Tonic
I'm gonna be honest with you-- I had a very tame weekend filled with tbs movie marathons, trying to get work done on my laptop, and fried foods. And even though I'm not leaving any crazy spree of excitement behind as I enter the work week, I've got to say, I have a serious case of the Mondays...
B.L.A.T. Croque Madame
If I could only eat one breakfast food for the rest of my life, it would be this one.
Baked Chicken Chimichangas with Monterey Jack Cheese Sauce
Yesterday I cried at Starbucks. Not like a little whimper, I'm talking full on sob-crying with little pools of tears collecting on the lid of my coffee. It was not my finest moment, guys. Not my finest moment at all. I'm pretty sure James was contemplating running for the hills and never looking back.
Crock Pot General Tso's Chicken
There are a lot of things that I've experienced over the years that I thought would be amazing but wound up being terrible ideas, like pregaming open bars, volunteering to do favors that I can't possibly fit into my schedule, or watching Juan Pablo be this season's Bachelor. (Seriously, by the end of the Finale...
Bacon, Cheddar, Caramelized Onion, and Potato Pierogi
I wish I could tell you that there was some deep background history behind these pierogi-- that my father grew up in Poland and brought back the recipe from his family's long tradition, or that my mother used to enjoy them in the heart of Pittsburgh and shared the city secret of adding sour cream...
Skillet Pumpkin Cornbread with Cinnamon Maple Butter
As you may or may not remember, I finally made my way down to North Carolina this past summer to visit my cousin Ashley and her fiance Evan. I came back missing my cousin more than ever (isn't it funny how seeing someone after a few years actually makes missing them worse?) and also missing...
How to Put Together Your Own Italian Wine and Antipasto Spread
I personally don't believe that you can go over-the-top with a meal as long as the taste is worth it in the end. I don't find anything wrong with spending hours in the kitchen, or searching high and low for the best ingredients, or meticulously planning out the details of each course. Food is something...
Southern Baked Chicken
It's been 2 weeks that I have been hiding this recipe from you and I'll tell you without hesitation that it has been down-right wrong of me to do so. Why? Because this recipe is up there on the list of my favorite things I've ever made. Far up there. Lately, I've been craving Southern...
Maryland Crab Cakes with Horseradish-Sriracha Remoulade
It all started about 2 months ago, when my good friend and past housemate (and avid reader of this blog-- hi, Rachel) mentioned that she wants to meet up at Chickie's & Pete's some day over the summer, which may or may not be my favorite sports bar due to it's abundance of shellfish, mollusks,...
Chile Relleno
I'll cut to the chase: This is good. I mean, it's really good, the type of really good that makes it difficult for me to not leap out of my seat, speed off to the grocery store, and stock up on ingredients to make another batch. It's the type of Chile Relleno you find in...
Simple Slow Cooker Shredded Buffalo Chicken
The Super Bowl is nearly here, which means it's time for football and, just as importantly, lots of food! Every year, I look forward to shoveling down some nachos, poppers, 'skins, and dip, but the greatest game day grub comes in the form of Buffalo Chicken. While most people think of Buffalo Chicken in its wing...
